Tarte Amazonian Clay Long-wear Blush Tipsy
Recently, I've developed a soft spot for coral blushes as they look more flattering and natural on my skin tone than blue-based pinks or plum/berry tones. Coral also happens to be a key colour for cheeks for this fall season, so there are plenty of options available from the various makeup brands. My current favourite is Tarte's Amazonian Clay Long-wear Blush in Tipsy, which I purchased at Sephora in New York a few months ago. Aside from receiving glowing reviews across many beauty blogs, the Amazonian blushes recently won Allure's Best of Beauty Award 2011 for "best blush".
Tipsy has just the right amount of pink without any garish orange tones. It has a soft semi-matte finish with a very subtle glowiness. The baked blush contains Vitamins A, C and E, as well as natural clay harvested from the Amazon River, which supposedly helps to minimise oil production and enables the blush to last flawlessly for up to 12 hours. Like other Tarte products, it is free of parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, phthalates and triclosan.
At US$25, it's almost as expensive as NARS blushes (US$27) but it contains a more generous amount of product at 5.6g/0.2oz versus 0.16 oz for NARS blushes. Even after using Tipsy almost daily for the past month, the embossed pattern is still very much intact.
Tipsy has good colour payoff without being too crazily pigmented and it does not accentuate my pores. Even if I accidentally apply too much, it's easy to blend out to a natural finish. On my oily skin which requires blotting every 2-3 hours, it lasts about 6-8 hours.
For this look, I also used DiorSkin Forever Compact, Fred Farrugia Pearlized Twinkle Eyeshadows #4 and #38 over Too Faced Shadow Insurance, Suqqu Mascara Volume Long N, Lancome Natural Light Creator Bare Skin Perfecting Corrector Pen #1, Stila Sparkle Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in Royal, K-Palette Lasting 2Way Eyebrow 01, and Paul & Joe Lipstick CS #67.
After doing this purple/pink/green combo with the Fred Farrugia eyeshadows, it reminded me of Lunasol's Scent Form Eyes #3 Black Tea.
The Paul & Joe lipstick with the cat face is from last year's fall collection, Clair de Lune.
